Very true for `mvn`. Not true in Aether; this would seem to be a userland tool convention, and not a fundamental characteristic of the 'deploy' operation. However, even Aether leaves some resolver-status and metadata files in the local repository after completing a 'deploy'...although I can't determine the significance of them. One thing I've discovered is that an installed SNAPSHOT will always take precedence over SNAPSHOTs from remote repositories, whereas this is not the case for SNAPSHOTs that are deployed to a local repository. So, there's one significant difference at least. It's unfortunate that the most fundamental things in Maven are essentially undocumented AFAICT: what 'deploy' and 'install' do, the various contents (and potential contents) of repositories in different contexts and their semantics, and so on. - Chas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
